6123, WA 6171, WA

Postcode 6171 is a larger, more diverse hub where 31.9% of people were born overseas, compared with 20.0% in postcode 6123. It is also more accessible, with 40.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 68.9% near a school, whereas postcode 6123 has no homes within walking distance of shops. Consequently, postcode 6171 is considered somewhat walkable, while postcode 6123 is car-dependent.
